Table 1: Rack Requirements and Specicaons for an MX204 Router
(Connued)
Rack Requirement Guidelines
Rack size and strength
• Ensure that the rack is 19-in. wide as dened in
Cabinets, Racks, Panels,
and Associated Equipment
(document number EIA-310–D) published by
the Electronics Components Industry Associaon (hp://
www.ecianow.org/).
• Ensure that the rack is of one of the following standard depths:
• 23.6 in. (600 mm)
• 30.0 in. (762 mm)
•
31.5 in. (800 mm)
•
The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the router
chassis's external dimensions (see No Link Title). The outer edges of the
mounng brackets extend the width to 19 in. (48.3 cm). The spacing of
rails and adjacent racks must also allow for the clearances around the
router and rack.
• The router ships with the front-mounng brackets xed in the front-
mount posion on the chassis. You can move the rear-mounng
brackets based on the depth of the rack.
• The chassis height of 1.72 in. (4.37 cm) is approximately 1 U (rack unit).
• The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully
congured router, up to 22.7 lb (10.3 kg).
• Either end of the router must be mounted ush with the rack and sll be
adjustable for racks with dierent depths. The front and rear rack rails
must be spaced between 23.62 in. (600 mm) and 31.5 in. (800 mm) front
to back.
• Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for the proper
clearance around the router and rack.
